Giant ants create a new apocalyptic world!
Even in the 21st Century many people continue to be fascinated by the ‘big bug’ movies of the 1950’s. At age ten, my first titillating exposure came with the move, Them, a 1954 classic about giant ants. I have never forgotten that jaw dropping experience and still watch the show with a sense of antiquated wonder and nostalgia when it is shown. I have also longed for a sequel to this early classic.
Therefore, it is with a sense of yearning for those old days that I have decided to write one of my own, not in script form, but as a novel. Times have changed, hence, in order to make the story more believable and as equally exciting, the technology and story must be adapted to modern frames of thought.
This one is for: James Arness, James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn & Joan Weldon, the original cast of …Them.
